Sorry to use same channel for both cool and not cool stuff. But some of you may know that my friend Patrick Belden died this weekend. He and I were band mates and friends for 13 years, great guy, impossibly smart and friendly. And could play the electric guitar like a boss. You may know him from the neighborhood, he lived on Greenbrook Way for years. Twin Lakes Pool, Holy Cross church. 

He and I played for the Bonzai a few times as Midwife Crisis: @ Holbrook’s 50th bday, @ a party that Fuquas put together, and @ lots of pool parties where the housefraus got their dirty dancing on. 

In case you’re wondering: alcoholism + depression + divorce + lack of meaningful job for years, after achieving nice success as Alton Brown’s music and sound guy on Good Eats tv show. 

Hug your wife/kids/dog.

Sad news.  He was beloved in the local Atlanta film community as well.  A lot of folks mentioned his passing to me today.  Sorry Andy.

Godspeed.

Thanks all. 

And Alan, I forgot to mention our date(s) playing for your sister @ her pool, so we covered your family as well!

Been out, just now seeing this. Sorry Andy. I didn’t know him, but guessing I met him at one of your gigs, and I’m sure it’s a tough loss for you. Hang in there and see you soon.
